Chapter 8
The limo finally showed up, chuck called his driver about 10 minutes ago and now it was here, to say they were cold would be an understatement, after they made sure Blair was okay, they walked a couple blocks away from the restaurant, in case any of the parents came out. But now, they were glad Arthur was here except for Chuck who immediately went to the driver, he explained that he was at a family event, and he was sorry. Chuck looked at Blair who was standing by the limo looking curiously over to them, and decided that it was fine; he even brought out his wallet and gave the guy a few hundreds. Chuck explained he was grateful for leaving the family, and we wouldn't be long, since where he was taking them, didn't exactly let limos in. they couldn't fit either way. The driver thanked Chuck, and then walked over to get in the limo to drive. Chuck looked at Blair again who was still waiting for him, to get in. Eric and Serena were already in the limo, she was just waiting for Chuck.
"What was that?" Blair asked Chuck once he got over to where she was standing. "Nothing; Just the guy left his family, so we'll have to make this trip a little shorter than expected, so we're going to have to eat what's available there." Chuck explained trying to get in the limo, but Blair blocked his way, by standing in the doorway. "Where are we exactly going, it's Christmas, practically everything's closed." Blair told him very pointedly. Chuck raised an eyebrow and gently pushed Blair in. "not everyplace, waldorf."
They weren't even on the road for 10 minutes and they already stopped. Blair looked out the window the best she could since she was in the middle of Serena and Chuck; Eric sat off to the side. "Were already here?" Blair asked, looking the best she could out the window to see where she was, but either Serena's hair was in her way or Chuck was. "You'll see when you get out." Chuck said getting out holding the door open for everyone. When his driver got out, Chuck handed him another wad of 100s and told the man Merry Christmas, and told him to go back to his family that they weren't going to need his service anymore tonight. The driver was very grateful and drove off. Blair, Serena and Eric stood on the side walk watching, why was the limo leaving? And what was chuck saying to the driver?
"Chuck, why is the driver leaving?" Serena asked, finally hoping to get the answer they were all thinking. Chuck put his gloved hands in his pockets. "He has family, Serena, we were lucky to get him to bring us here". "Well where's here, all I see is central park." Chuck gave her a look walking into the park. Serena's face made an 'Oh', "but Chuck it's freezing out…" she explained again; putting an arm around Blair and her brother, who were clearly cold. "Don't worry I've made arrangements…" Chuck said to motion to a horse carriage now trotting up towards them.
Blair then smiled, she always wanted to ride a horse carriage on Christmas, she told it to her father once, but he always explained they were too busy, which they were, and Blair surely didn't want to leave her new toys she got. And they always got around to it the next day, but never on Christmas. "Oh, B isn't this exciting?" Serena said as she practically ran to the horse, petting it. Blair just chuckled, she was acting like a little kid on Christmas morning, and well technically it was Christmas…
The horse now, was to a complete stop, and chuck went to the driver as Blair helped Blair on, even though she was perfectly fine to do it by herself, it was still thoughtfull thing for Eric to do. Blair then sat down and Eric sat down across from her, and before they knew it, and very hyper Serena flopped down right next to Eric. Then not long after that, a chuck bass with extra blankets. He covered them over all 4 of them, over the usual blanket that the ride supplied. Then sat next to Blair; then with a nod from Chuck, the ride started. It was so beautiful, the park was practically empty compared to what it usually was, and all you could here was the trotting of the horse, it was perfect. Blair thought, as she leaned into the seat full way. As she watched a smiling Serena who was practically out of her seats just looking, it hardly snowed in New York, well around the holidays. And it was just too pretty not to look at. About 5 minutes into the ride, the driver stopped and got out, they were all wondering where he went, but then he came back with a tray of 4 hot chocolates. Serena giggled and grabbed them from him, this truly was perfect. Eric took two of them and offered one to Blair, not knowing if she'd be up to one, but she accepted, she was awfully parched and even though the blankets did help, she was still cold, and she would take practically anything hot right now. Serena gave one to chuck who took one. He had this planned and everything was going well. He too, didn't know if Blair would be up for anything right now, he hoped since her nose was red, from the cold, and was grateful that he did accept one and drink from it almost immediately and from the look of it she did look like she was having fun, of course though as he looked at Serena, she looked depressed compared to her. He stifled a laugh by the look of her she looked like a 5 year old, he looked back at Blair, but she did look happy, well better than this morning and lunch. Speaking of, in 15 minutes they were supposed to be brought their meal, that he had called and he arranged that they were going to be brought what they ordered at the restaurant but in a to go container. Then after that he assumed they would ride along for awhile around central park, and then from there he had nothing, but at least now was going well.
They finally got going again, and Blair couldn't help but dig through her purse she was starving, and she knew that there had to be a mint or something in here, she was about to say something, but then something caught her eye, it was the ultrasound picture, she pulled it out and looked at it, it didn't look like a baby yet, but it was something, she saw it move, she heard it. But something else caught her eye too. Right by the picture of the baby, they're was writing 'I love you mommy and daddy'
Chuck noticed when Blair pulled it out. He looked over to Serena and Eric to see if they noticed but they were too busy looking at two ducks playing in the water, which they were currently by. He moved closer to Blair to get a better look, that when he saw it. 'I love you mommy and daddy' He saw Blair tearing up, and she looked over to him, only to be startled by how close he was, and that he was looking at the picture. "Umm..." he said to a still looking at him Blair, who had a tear running down her face. "They…that's probably, just routine" Chuck said trying to find some explanation why that was there. Blair nodded and wiped away her tear and tried to stop any of the future ones. She looked down at it again. "Do you think? That he or she will love us?" Blair said down at the picture, but clearing the question for chuck. Chuck looked down at the picture; and looked at it, remembering it move, the sound of its heartbeat. Blair looked up at him again to see him stare down at he and she, she was having a baby with him, the jerk that ruined her Cotillion, that had a bruise, and a bloody lip; she was going to have a baby with him, then after that be stuck with him, somehow for 18 years plus. You would think that Blair would groan at the thought at that but, when she looked at him, just somehow, how he looked down at the picture, things would be okay. Chuck then realized that Blair was staring at him, he couldn't help but think she looked beautiful even with still puffy eyes, from crying so much today and a red nose. She looked gorgeous, to him. "Yea I mean I'm Chuck Bass and your Blair Waldorf how could it not?" Chuck said joking; Blair smiled, and even giggled a little. He did have a point; they were Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf, very much both powerful names in the UES.
"Shit." Serena said looking down at her phone. Everyone looked at Serena to see what the problem is, "just got a text from my mom, we have to be back by 4, and were having dinner at the waldorfs." Serena said holding up her phone. Shit was right thought Blair and Chuck, Eric two; they could only hope that this went better than lunch.
Oh no…will dinner go by well? Or will it be Lunch 2.0? Hmm you'll have to review to find out…lol jk jk I'm writing this story no matter if no one's reading it or not, I'm addicted to writing!
